Wally World WOW Moment

The other day after leaving my doc's office I was on cloud nine!  According to his scales I was down 93 pounds  and not quite 4 months post-op, so I went to Wally World to celebrate!   I was/am in desperate need of new bras and didn't want to spend a lot of money on them just to probably need new ones a few months down  the road.  So I find a cute red one and and a pink one (I'm a odd size now and if I find the size I buy if even if I don't care for the color.)  Well since I still had more money to burn so I went looking at the clothes in the "woman's world" section.  I didn't see anything I liked so I went over to the "regular" section to see if I could find a cute cheap top for my mom....well I FOUND A CUTE CHEAP TOP FOR ME INSTEAD!!!!  

I couldn't believe it.  Granted it was the largest size they had in the section (size 20) but I couldn't get over the fact that the starting size of the section size 4/6!  So I bought the top, drove over to my sisters house around the corner and I was stripin' in her kitchen to see if my new top would fit!  It was a great fit - in fact I kept trying it on that I got deodorant all over the front of it.  Later on my way home I stopped by another Wally World and bought me a pair of shorts and jeans both size 20 in the regular people section! 

Hard for me to believe that just only 4 months ago I was wearing some clothes size 30/32's but mainly 26/28's and last month when I finally broke down and went shopping the clothes I bought were sizes 24's and 22's if they were stretch jeans and now they are too big (well the 24's are falling off even with a belt!)

Amazing what my new best friend Mr. RNY can help me do:

1.  Take less medication
2.  Feel better
3.  Find out the cause of my chronic health issues - so I can go back to work  (still working on this one)
4.  Exercise longer w/o feeling out of breath/so tired quickly
5.  Buy smaller size clothes!!! 

 

So, my OH brothers and sisters, what about you, what has your new friend Mr./Mrs. RNY (or other surgery) done for you lately????    Make a list!!!

Those are big wow's
